I think his silence speaks more volumes than anything.

I don't call him an ass but this hole saga has to end. How did you know that the club barely appreciates him?

It's a hole alright.

Lack of playing time, especially in games where it's clear he deserves to play and they can afford to do so.

True. Tito have to rotate much more. Especially when they play cl. The true story we gonna know when he is gone.

Calma, calma
In Thiago's case, it shows a great personal desire to succeed and I would imagine that that drive would be useful to any club. So if it does turn out that he doesn't leave Barca, as long as he shows the same passion again, I don't see what the issue would be. He is one of the best young midfielders in the world and it would be totally stupid to give him away because he flirted with Man Utd in a transfer season.

I'm not just thinking about the outright number of games. I'm talking about specifics, like when Xavi was obviously injured/fatigued and when our CL campaign was finished and the league was pretty much won.

No, actually I am talking about specifics. Thiago was in the starting lineup in 12 out of the last 19 La Liga games (second half of the season). Iniesta and Fabregas only started 1 and 2 games more respectively. It doesn't get more specific than that. What does Xavi have to do with this? Xavi only started 8 games in the second half of the season.

We are going to lose him, I know it. Hopefully they will announce it on Monday and get this over with.

Man, he played he a lot once he was injury-free. I really don't know why people don't see this when the numbers are actually there for everyone to see. Look at this:
Thiago:
Iniesta:
Almost identical share of minutes. It's clutching at straws to believe Thiago wouldn't have kicked up a fuss if Tito had played him a bit more in 1 or 2 games. All of this has nothing to do with playing time.

In total minutes Thiago had 1000 minutes less than the previous season. He also didn't hit the 60% that would make his clause stay at 90m. It's not only because of minutes, but it matters in the end.
What are Thiago's stats in the second half of the season for the games that really mattered though (considering the league was essentially already wrapped up in December): CL and CDR? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think he's had a lot of minutes in those crucial games?

He missed 9 Liga games because of injury = 9 * 90 minutes = 810 minutes.
He also missed 5 group stage games in the CL because of injury = 5 * 90 minutes = 450 minutes.
And he missed 1 CdR game because of injury = 1 * 90 minutes.
All in all he missed 1350 minutes because of injury.
